Broadband connection speeds are close to direct connection speeds. They have one advantage and that is its always on, that means Users don’t need to dial in on log onto anything the internet is always on. Broadband connections need DSL, Cable modems or Satellite Internet Connections to connect to the internet. These connections are connected via different cables.
